What is the Propeller Guard Made Of ?
Usually propeller guards are usually made of stainless steel with various coatings,
But this Cover made of polypropylene, it is lighter and the product strength and impact resistance are almost the same as it.
By the way our next models will be made of carbon fibre will come as soon as we finish the testing .
How does the guard work ?
The Safety Cover is made to surround the propeller like a nozzle.
This designed nozzle action moves water with a controlled directional force which gives the boat improved handling and more power.
This nozzle action is accomplished with no moving parts to adjust or replace.
Whether you have an outboard or stern drive, the propeller cover will increase propeller efficiency, decrease fuel consumption and
improve boat handling while reducing hull and engine stress.
14" Red Color Marine Thruster Protective Cover
Color : Red
Include :
- 1PC polypropylene Propeller Guard
- 9 sets Installing Bolts
- 1PC Drill
Installation of the Cover Guard on all propellers would greatly reduce prop blade injuries to humans and marine life. The added thrust also allows for better handling control of the vessel.
The Propeller Safety Cage can protect a family from deadly propeller accidents and give the boat owner the excitement and enjoyment of improved performance.
Some advantages of the propeller guard cover
- Increase outboard propeller efficiency
- Increase the marine boat acceleration
- Increase the marine engine thrust
- Reduces your boat motor fuel consumption
- Improves boat control handling
- Reduce marine hull stress and boat engine stress
- Reduces outboard propeller torque effect
- and motor wake and boat pounding
- Improves propeller visibility boating people safety
14" Safety propeller Guard can Fit Models
- Your Motor propeller shaft to Cavitation Plate Size H 6.5" to 7.5"
- All brands 70-100 hp outboards propellers , fit up to 13.5" propellers Such as Yamaha Suzuki Mercury Honda Evinrude Johnson 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 hp outboards propeller .
- Except Big Foot and High Thrust , it require 16" propeller Guard
How to Install a Marine outboard 14" propeller safety guard ?
Propeller Guard Installation Instructions :
- Tools Prepared : Drill with 5/16" bit , 9 sets bolts
- 14" Propeller Cover upper need 6 sets bolt , under need 4 sets bolt .
- Place the propeller Guard on the underside of the cavitation plate . Align the guard so that equal distance exists between the guard and the prop when the propeller revolves inside the guard
- The guard should be positioned as far forward on the cavitation plate as possible .
- Remove trim tab under cavitation before installation of propeller guard for 9" 11" 13" 14" guards
- Drill 6 holes through the cavitation plate and guard . insert bolts , wahsers and Nyloc nuts as illustrated and loosely tighten .
- Drill 2 holes through lower skeg , per illustration , insert bolt , wahser and Nyloc nut , tighten securely . Now tighten cavitation bolts .
